| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bold Latin cross occupies the centre of the field, with each arm terminating in a globus adorned with two pellets; a central X decorates the crossing point. Crescent moons appear in the upper left and upper right fields, while a stylized floral or foliate scroll fills the space below the cross. The overall design reflects the fusion of Crusader heraldic and Byzantine decorative traditions characteristic of Edessan copper coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Baldwin II governed Edessa twice — first as count from 1100, then again after ransom from Danishmend captivity in 1108. The "light type" designation distinguishes this issue from heavier flans struck earlier in the county's output, a weight reduction that likely reflects the chronic fiscal strain of maintaining a frontier crusader state perpetually under Artuqid and Danishmend pressure. Edessa was the most exposed of the four crusader states, and its coinage shows it.
